(2) If a chain restaurant violates a provision of ORS § 616.560, 616.565 or 616.570 or a rule adopted under ORS § 616.575, the authority shall provide the restaurant with written notice informing the restaurant of the violation and stating that the restaurant may avoid a civil penalty for the violation by curing the violation within 60 days. If the chain restaurant fails to cure the violation within 60 days, the authority may impose a civil penalty of not less than $250 and not more than $1,000 for the violation. For a continuing violation, each 30-day period that the violation continues after the preceding imposition of a civil penalty is a separate offense subject to a separate civil penalty. The authority is not required to provide the chain restaurant with an opportunity to cure the continuing violation before imposing a civil penalty for the continuing violation.
